No

Damn

torn gale
#

I’m very fond of those Joe Johnson and Deron Williams teams

#

Brook Lopez is the best player in nets history

plush jungle
#

Oscar Schmidt???

#

Idk

#

Only hofer drafted by then

solid dagger
#

I love Brook but having him as the best player ever for your team is...

#

Not great

torn gale
#

We aren’t a great franchise

solid dagger
#

Cooper Flagg will change that

#

Nets-Spurs finals in 2029 we will be there

torn gale
#

Moved to Brooklyn to play second fiddle to the Knicks, bland branding, unserious ownership

#

At least I had the Knicks…. That’s half serious

nimble onyx
#

You will get Jalen Green and you will enjoy it

torn gale
#

Some fun teams and some really bad teams

Knicks had some all time bad teams

#

Like some of those awful lakers teams but less funny

#

I would've waived Kevin Knox the second he opened his shirt on draft night

torn gale
#

There are some New York sports players that are burned into my memory because of how much I dislike them

nimble onyx
#

Zion as the rep?

torn gale
#

I’m so glad the Knicks are one of the few teams not to rebrand for the worst

Zion kd and kyrie to the Knicks

Zion to the nets

torn gale
#

Zion and New Orleans was an all time bad combo

Knicks are fine as is

We should have seen it coming

Better not go to minny and eat the grub there also

plush jungle

#

Send Zion to Miami and watch him leave the nba before january

torn gale
# plush jungle Knicks are fine as is

Honestly I’d take Zion in a heartbeat. When healthy he averages 27 ppg on elite efficiency. We don’t have New Orleans level food or bbl demons to trick him either

solid dagger
#

Zion is so infuriating because when he plays he's an all nba calibre player

plush jungle
#

I would also

#

As a raptors fan

solid dagger
#

But he has missed so many games

torn gale
#

I love KAT but come playoff team we need an a second option that isn’t as shaky as him

#

We also need depth

#

We are giving Mitchell Robinson real playoff minutes

solid dagger
#

Depth? With Tybs as your coach?

#

Nice one

torn gale
#

It’s a nasty cycle

#

Bench will never develop but they also aren’t played for a reason

#

Hart also needs to become a better three point shooter please

#

And run some half court offense

Also Nico and the Mavs don’t deserve anything good

That is just bullshit if it happens

Giannis would ve wild

Giannis to the trailblazers just for the memes

It's actually so stupid. The system inherently opposes what it's supposed to stand for for this EXACT fucking reason

I also liked the Phoenix Coyotes logo ngl

#

The thing is, this system innately discourages teams from rebuilding smartly because what's the fucking point. Poverty franchises stay poverty franchises, teams that need genuine help have a high chance of being screwed year after year, mediocre teams and management that don't give a fuck can end up being the winners of the whole thing. Such a dogshit system

robust grotto
#

Yeah sad about the Coyotes

solid dagger
torn gale
#

Tanking is going to happen regardless

hollow wind
#

"discourages from purposefully tanking" isn't really needed imo and it's something that happens anyway

sweet tree
torn gale
#

The thing about tanking is that players don’t play to lose

hollow wind
#

it's just common sense that teams that have no chance at a championship are going to want to increase their odds of improving for future seasons

dim ledge
solid dagger
#

One way to discourage from tanking is introducing relegation and promotion to lower leagues but that's not gonna happen

There just can't be a world where the 17-65 jazz and 18-64 wizards fall to 5 and 6 while the play-in Mavericks and 34-48 spurs get 1 and 2 LOL

#

like that just can't be allowed 😭

plush jungle
#

foul play

#

sixers also with the third overall pick

dim kettle
#

The lottery is always meant to fix outcomes. Because getting the 1st overall pick doesn't always get you the best player available. A lotto is pointless.

dim ledge
#

To my understanding

#

Isn't the NBA lottery notoriously awful outside of the first 3?

#

Like worse than the NHL?

#

In terms of value

#

Like that doesn't make sense because Giannis got chosen at, what....11?

dim kettle
#

I'd say sometimes 4 sometimes 5-6

hollow wind
#

Very dependent on the draft class

dim ledge
#

But I keep hearing it's a shift draft

plush jungle
#

giannis just developed like crazy

#

jokic was what the 41st overall pick

hollow wind
#

I think it's more just the principle of having the first pick. Like what the draft class ends up looking like after that is what it is, but teams still want to have the freedom to fail lol if that makes sense. Jokic was a second round pick, Brady was 6th round etc...

dim kettle
#

To be frank, most the rules for getting into the NBA draft have been criticized. It's not like the NFL draft where you have to be 3 years out of high school to play. A lot of these top prospects are like 19-20 still learning their craft. So you don't get the difference makers right off the bat most times in the NBA

nimble onyx
# nimble onyx Exactly

The top 3 aren’t guaranteed to be the best out the class, depending on the draft class too you could get a top prospect to fall on your lap at 11 like Giannis did

plush jungle
#

lower lottery (10-14) is pretty much a wash most drafts

hollow wind
#

(Why they should get rid of one and done entirely!)

plush jungle
#

facts

dim kettle
#

I always been on the side of make it that you play out of high school or play 2-3 years in college. Of course, there's also the G League.

like valuation wise is the nba the worst outside of those top 5?

plush jungle
#

one of the few good players to do so

dim ledge
#

(typically)

hollow wind
#

That happens pretty frequently yea

plush jungle
#

ooh dyson daniels was ignite

#

my bad they got some decent players

dim kettle
#

I do feel bad for a lot of these young NBA players getting drafted in the top 4. Because not every 19-20 year old is capable of handling money and the pressure of being the guy for a team.

plush jungle
#

matas is looking good

dim kettle
#

It took Markelle Fultz being traded to Orlando to be decent.

plush jungle
#

i forgot that it was due to NIL and transfers going crazy that they shut down

hollow wind
# dim ledge like valuation wise is the nba the worst outside of those top 5?

I might just be talking out my ass with this but I think it feels this way with basketball because it's is such a star-powered sport and league nowadays. Take football on the other hand, and you have entire rounds of drafting quality players to fill out your roster with. With basketball, teams are often just looking to pick the transcendent players of each draft class to transform their roster so it feels like only maybe 5 or so of each draft class feel like true difference makers in the end

plush jungle
#

marketing wise yeah but depth plays a big part also

#

guys like peyton pritchard and josh hart are pretty valuable

hollow wind
#

In a literal sense that's not the case ofc because you need deep teams with quality support players

#

yep

plush jungle
#

it is hard to win without a top end talent on your team though

dim kettle
#

We know depth guys are really important because that was the Brooklyn Nets and Lakers problems when they had potential "Superteams"

plush jungle
#

nba is weird cuz of how many minutes players can play\

sweet tree
#

wait does the nba not broadcast the balls being picked out? for the draft

plush jungle
#

nba rosters aren't much smaller than nhl ones but a nba team can win with just 7-8 solid and above players

#

nhl teams need 20-23

slow violet
#

Lol I fuckig knew the Mavs would get the number 1 overall pick

dim kettle
#

The way I see it is you need your star players to better your chances of winning games, and you need depth guys because inevitably in a long season and in the playoffs, your star players will get hurt. For how long, you don't know.

slow violet

The NBA lottery is so fucking rigged
